I love this truck. Hope no one minds that I've stolen these pics from their website.:)

:)

Cool truck.. I love the second picture with the tree across the river..Cool

Well...what web site did you steal them from?:flipoff2:

Becket's rig is awesome! I look at that second shot and wonder how people can like low-rider FJ60's, this one looks so proportional with the nice 37's! DROOL.....

Soon I hope mine looks like that one. I currently have the axles off doing the SOA and shackle reverse. I am planning on running the Rancho 44044s in the front and chevy's (4 pack) in the rear. I figure the weight is about the same as a waggy. Not looking for height from the springs, I hope the sag to almost flat so i get a good ride and lots of droop. We'll see. I plan on puttig the suspension on this weekend and turning the knuckles as well. I only wish i had the $$$ for the lockers right now, so I would not have to tear into the axles again. I also plan on later installing a 350 and mate it up to a 5 speed toy tranny. I have an engine that i might swap for the tranny.
I have one question though. Is their any issues with the 4 speed split case? All the case problems i seem to see are with the one piece case on the FJ40s. Maybe its just because they are getting it all the time, or driving style. Should I be worried with the 350 and possible crawler box later???:confused: :confused:

I have begun contemplating doing the SOA but I gave away my stock FJ60 springs.:rolleyes: I'll never need those, right? Right now mine has 33 BFGs under the 4" Dobinson lift. I am having a hard time justifying lifting it that high because then I can't get into parking garages and I use this truck for work and camping (lite wheeling). On a side note I'll probably end up doing the sring over.:rolleyes: I'm dropping it off tomorrow to get a couple of rust spots fixed on the body and then within the next week she'll go to the paint shop to become orange or yellow I haven't decided.:)

my vote is for a "canary" yellow. a little brighter than AAA yellow if I'm thinking correctly. bright yellow looks SOOOO beautiful, yet cool on a sixty!!! :smokin:

Im a big fan of the yellow, but everyone does it. Go with the orange.

TRD55,
Why are you not using the stock springs? Are the chevy springs longer than stock? are you moving the spring hangers? you might have a problem w/ the 44044's being too tall (especially when you go to V8 & if you remove leafs they might twist real bad (regular stock fj60 springs tend to bend S shaped REAL fast). just a thought.

The more I think about it though, it does sound like a good idea.

Let us know how it all turns out!!

orange= good!

OOOOOHHHHHH my gosh!!!!!!That bobbed 60 is sick!!!What did you do for a gas tank?I have sat for sooo long looking at my "built up" 60 and wondering why the thing has such bad "ghetto booty"...I just cany bring myself to even start thinking about bobbing it!!!good work man:) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Sixty - the stock rears are 48" compared to the 63 of the chevy's. I have a hard time believing that the stock springs would S real bad and easily. I guess when they are on the top of the axel it might be easier than on the bottom. Well i hope i do not have any problems. I hope they sag out with the weight of the 2F before I go to the 350. I fugure the 350 is about 150#-200# lighter. My stock springs are really sagged out. They have over 240K on them. I guess only time will tell.:D

I'll keep you posted..

What is AA yellow?

Found some more in my search for SOA stuff. www.mudrak.com

These next few are homage to 60 SeriesGuy :)

Pretty good flex for a wagon

...wagons:)

and again.:D

Hey, thanks for posting some shots of the old bitch! :)

AA Yellow is a Land Rover color, you can see it on all those yellow Defender 90's out there.

She's getting a new door this weekend and her roof patched. Hillbilly style on the door, you know wrong color. I have an inquiry in to MudRak and I have to find a paint shop.:D
